Chile and Haiti
In January–July 2026, Chile sold US$ 1.1 million of goods to Haiti — less than 0.1% of all it exported — and bought US$ 224 thousand from it, less than 0.1% of its imports. What it sells most there is «Fish; frozen, excluding fish fillets and other fish meat of heading 0…» (41%). The 2024 census counted 80,781 people born in Haiti living in Chile, 5.0% of everyone born abroad. 18 Chileans are registered to vote there.

Survey estimates: 467 people born in Haiti answered the Casen 2024 and stand for 76,564. The Casen expands to projections based on the 2017 census, so it does not give the 2024 census figure above. 2024 poverty is measured with the new methodology and is not compared with earlier years.

Exports plus imports with Chile. Every country →
How it is measured
- Trade
- Every export and import declaration Aduanas processed, added up. Exports are valued FOB and imports CIF. The figures at the top add up January–July 2026, against the same months a year before; a country has a trade profile if it moved at least US$ 1.0 million with Chile over every month the databases cover.
- Born there
- The 2024 census and the Casen 2024 ask the same thing: in which comuna or country the mother lived when the person was born. The census counts everyone; the Casen is a survey expanded to projections based on the 2017 census, so its totals differ. The two are shown side by side and never multiplied together.
- Which country has a Casen profile
- One with at least 300 people born there surveyed: with fewer, a rate moves by whole points from one household to the next. The Ministry publishes the same profile for seven countries, and every figure it publishes is rebuilt here and has to match.
- Chileans there
- SERVEL's roll counts the Chileans registered to vote abroad, by country. It leaves out those who did not register and their underage children: it is a floor, not the number of Chileans living there.
